How to translate navigation menu of an entity (related entities)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

In Dynamics CRM 2016, I would like to translate the label of related entities in the menu.  I can change the english text of the label in the Form editor.  But if I export the Translations (through a solution) or even with the XRM Toolbox Easy Translator, I cannot find  the label (even the english one) in the file.  I exported all labels of all entities and it's not there.  I might be doing something wrong.  Can anyone help me with this?  How/where should I go to translate these labels?

Thanks.

    I actually find relationship labels in the export (other items in the menu) just not the one that I need to translate.

    I found the solution.  You need to add a "custom label" first.  In the relationship setup, in the section "navigation pane  item for primary entity" you select "custom" instead of "Use Plural Name" and then you type the Custom Label value.  Then it will appear when you export the translation file.
